2nd Day at Port – Belize

August 25, 2010 by

Today was another AWESOME day aboard the Carnival Dream (how could it not be?). Today’s Port of Call was Belize. What I thought was really cool was The Dream didn’t pull into port to let us off but instead anchored 5 miles off shore and we were tendered into Belize. I am not 100% why but I think it is because the water is to shallow for The Dream to pull into Port. Also, if you don‘t know what tendering is it is when a smaller boat pulls along side The Dream and you transfer from one boat to the other and are then taken into Belize. It is really cool to look back off of the boat and see The Dream just anchored in the middle of the water with nothing around it (Kind of weird actually).

Belize was nice but we didn’t do much but walk around the shopping area. We didn’t book an excursion so we didn’t go to the beach or anything like that but it was still cool to see Belize. This was actually a late decision because Melinda and I decided at first just to skip this Port and stay on the ship but we decided we might regret not getting off so we did. We were in Belize for about an hour or so and then made our way back to The Dream. After we got back Shaun wanted to go to Camp Carnival (he loves going there) and Melinda and I went to grab lunch.

Since it was a day at Port the ship was kind of empty so we took advantage of the pools and the waterslides. Sabreena and I went on the twister and drain plug which are super fast water slides but a TON of fun. There is so much to talk about I can’t do it in one post so I will end it here for tonight but stay tuned because we have so much more to tell you and probably will be talking about it for a week or so after the cruise ends.

Tomorrows Port of Call is Isla Rotan, We are looking forward to this and we are also getting a tour of the Bridge (where the Captain drive the ship from) which we are SUPER excited about!!!

Our 1st Day at Port – Cozumel

August 23, 2010 by

Today was our first day in port which was Cozumel, Mexico. Carnival was nice enough to book the entire family the Playa Mia Beach Break Deluxe.

It was a great day. After the boat docked it took maybe 15-20 minutes to disembark then we headed into town where we caught a bus to Playa Mia. Once at Playa Mia we spent a lot of time on the beach then had a nice buffet lunch that was provided and open bar. Playa Mia also had a fresh water pool that we spent the last hour at before we heading back to the bus that drove us back to port.

We are now in our room and getting ready for our 6pm dinner. The food is AWESOME and so are our waiters Jose and Darma. They provide the best service and know that the kids want hot chocolate after dinner with their dessert.

Last night Melinda and I went to an adult comedy show and tonight we are going to see an 8pm variety show. If you have never been on a cruise you are missing out. There is SOOOOOO much to do you can be out all night if you wanted to be. Shaun is loving Camp Carnival, Shae not so much. Sabreena even has her own club to go to which is really cool.

So we are off to eat an awesome dinner right now but check in tomorrow for another post on our awesome day and adventures.

Thanks again Carnival. This is one of our best vacations ever!!!

Our Fun Day at Sea

August 22, 2010 by
Hi Everyone,
Greetings from the sunny and blue Atlantic & Caribbean Ocean.  We are on day 2 of our family cruise vacation on Carnval Cruise Lines-Dream. 
We boarded yesterday and while last night was a bit quiet for us (we ended up falling asleep early) today we jumped into the festivities at Waterworks with Shae.  Shaun and Sabreena spent the morning at Camp making new friends.
Shae is a part fish we think and spent 2 hours going down the kid slides and playing in the water. 

Tomorrow is our day onshore in Cozumel.  Can’t wait to swim those crystal clear waters.
